Unbundled Dedicated Transport Availability - Wire Center Tiers
Determining Route Specific Unbundling Requirements
In order to determine whether unbundled dedicated transport is available on a specific route, you must identify the tier levels for the end points of the desired route (the A and Z locations). A listing of wire centers and associated tier levels is provided below. Once the tier levels for the A and Z location have been identified, the following charts may be used to determine if unbundling is available on the desired route. Requests for Unbundled Dedicated Transports (DS1s or DS3s) to AT&T unimpaired wire centers will error back to the CLECs for “Product not eligible at route, request invalid”.
